Itinerary
Explore the detailed plans for your adventure, including alternate routes based on weather conditions.
The main goal of the charter is to make landfall at Sable Island NPR; however, the North Atlantic is in charge when it comes to our itinerary. We have a window of 4 days to make landfall, Tuesday through Friday. If we are lucky enough to have good conditions at the beginning of the week, then we have the opportunity to stay up to 3 days at Sable Island, two nights on anchor. The chances are low for two nights on anchor, but it is possible. During your stay, Sable Ocean Adventures will give you unlimited access to all areas of the island (except for the exclusion zones). This unique opportunity will give you the chance to see more of Sable Island than any other method of travel to Sable.
